collaboratory

The Trailblazery was created as a response to a need for deeper human connection and belonging in our society. We are living in complex and challenging times that urge us to ask better questions so that we can take better care of ourselves, each other and of this place called home. At The Trailblazery, we are committed to exploring our collective responsibility as ancestors-in-training and moving the needle on cultural evolution.

A collaboratory is defined as “a centre without walls” and The Trailblazery has a proven history in building unusual networks of learned expertise and lived experience. At our collaboratory we connect diverse people with bright minds and open hearts to unleash shared potential and catalyse creative solutions that address 21st century global challenges. We navigate intersectional spaces to help frame new ways of understanding that not only evolve what we see, but how we see it. We work with multiple stakeholders and intelligences to unlock the ‘super wicked problems’ that challenge our current human operating systems. We love to tackle messy real-world situations that calls for social dreaming, radical innovation and cross-cultural collaboration.

We collaborate with a host of brilliant partners-in-crime across all industries, spaces and sectors worldwide. Together we create trailblazing experiences that inspire curiosity by asking big questions about what it means to be alive in Ireland the world today.

We have a proven track record of successfully challenging public engagement through the delivery of immersive meaningful experiences and innovative design practices, on and offline. We catalyse pioneering projects that capture public imagination and promote cultural wellbeing. Previous collaborations include Melancholia and the Brain, The Freedom Project, Census of the Heart, We Need to Talk about Ireland, Rites of Passage and the ireland : iceland project.
